CURSE BOUND

"Wake up'

Mathew says as he slips Benjamin repeatedly to awaken him

"Ugh" Benjamin grunts as he slowly rolls to face Mathew

"What is it" Benjamin says as he dozed off

"The ship is being attacked" Mathew says with no sense of urgency

Swish

The sound of sheets wurrs through the air as Benjamin launches himself up and running to grab his sword

"What are you waiting for !"

Benjamin says as he turns to face Mathew

"There testing us, or more accurately grelavile"

Mathew says as he lifts his curled fist

"One, they've been on this ship for a while but have not stolen anything or killed any one, in fact they haven't even checked any other rooms, furthermore the owner of this ship may have signed a contract with them, I propose this because of the damage they have done to the ship, which could lead to a legal trail, I mean at first I was suspicious of how far both our rooms where from each other, but that was neither here nor there I simply chopped it up to coincidence"

Mathew says as he raises one finger

"Two, they are way more trained than simple pirates, but we still have the upper hand, and they have only looked in my room, which I had evacuated after hearing them board the ship, I didn't check your room to minimize the chance of civilian death while I came here, which is why I made sure they where absolutely sent by grelaville"

Mathew says as he raises a second

"And lastly, the ship they boarded from was suspiciously well kept, too much for a pirate vessel, this includes things such as no barnicles nor wear on the lower parts of the ship, and the flag is quite frankly newly made, I checked shortly after they went below the deck to head towards my room" Mathew says as he raises another finger

"Wow, you diduced that from such simple detail"

Benjamin says surprised at Mathew's skills

"At any rate we shouldn't kill them,capturing them for interigation is more suitable"

Mathew says

"Understood"

Benjamin says as he exits the room with caution, following a pitch black dark hallway making sure to avoid barrels and following the footsteps of the intruders, as they slowly etch closer and closer to the target who are merely fondling around in the dark

"These fucking kids are nowhere to be seen"

One of the men says to another but he gets no response

"Grenis ?"

The man says as he turns around to see his subordinate being tied up by Mathew

"He-"

The man's attempts to scream put is knocked out by Benjamin

"I'll face the rest you stay here and ensure that these two don't escape"

Benjamin says as he finally unsheathes his blade

As Benjamin trouts below the deck making sure to quite his steps and trying not to invoke any attention to himself .

"Even though they are clearly below us they seem to excel in stealth, Hpmh nevermind that i'll definately find them" benjamin thinks as he clenches the hilt of his sword and slows his breath

"I'll draw attention to myself, his reaction determines whether or not he really is a pirate or not"

Benjamin thinks

A little while later he spots one out of the ten enemies.

"Hey you there!" Shouts Benjamin, making sure to pay close attention to the man's reaction

"Huh? Why would you announce your location" says the man, but he quickly stops himself after realizing he had revealed his affiliation with grelaville

The man grabs his sword in an instant and dashes at Benjamin before slashing at Benjamin

"Hmm" the man grunts confused as Benjamin fluently ducks below his strike before sweeping his legs with a clean kick, and quickly punching his chin while he is down to knock him out

"Now it's confirmed" Benjamin thinks as he ties up the man.

The next person he spots is another enemy a woman but, she spots him first.

"Ha I found you" says the woman as she smirks.

"Hm" Benjamin grunts as he throws his sword at the woman's feet, disorienting her and making her imbalanced, before rushing at her and punching her in various weak spot and grabbing to sword to cut her throat

"No I'm going to die he's actually going to kill me" she says terrified in her mind as she closes her eyes in fear.

But before impact Benjamin turns the sword to the side to slap her instead, and elbowing her chin

The last eight were more or less the same difficulty, being quickly dispatched one by one

As he finishes tieing up the last of them with Mattew one of them who had woken up grins and laughing says

"You passed the test you damn maniacs" the man said as he passed out.
